Pros

Flexible hours / dress code (in my building anyway), everyone treats each other as equals. I'm a software guy, and they treat us better than most employers in Austin. Things are largely a meritocracy, so if you have a good idea you can make a difference regardless of rank. AMD is big enough that you can find projects that will interest you, and managers are usually pretty good about letting you work for other teams and/or on something that you will enjoy more.

Cons

There are some serious documentation black holes (either it doesn't exist or it's old/wrong, hard to find the information you need to do your job). They expect you to work hard (I know people working 70-80 hrs), but aren't big sticklers for face time. Just get it done.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
